Al says we're a 3-4 Team SIAP

[dycane]

### We mentioned this past offseason that UM players were expecting more use of the 3-4 defense this season. And though nobody has discussed it publicly until this week, Al Golden said on WQAM Tuesday: “We’re moving to a 3-4 team. It’s no secret. We’re a 3-4 team.”

I thought it was pretty obvious before now....

I like the term "ODD FRONT" sounds intimidating.

I tend to gravitate to the term "NON EVEN FRONT"

I like "A front divided by 2 with a remainder".

BTW, Paul Johnson mentioned that everyone they have played so far has used an odd front against them.

The transformation is almost complete... When I saw McCord listed as a Sam LB on the depth chart, I knew we were headed in that direction. Plus, the announcer from the Florida game said we were going to the 3-4 during the game...

Finding DE/OLBs in the state will not be a problem. However, if we can get a true NT to replace Porter next season, we can keep rolling in the right direction.

Pierre can replace Porter I think.

 

[sstcane]

He said everyone has run out of the 4-3 look.

 

[TheU1984]

Yeah, you got that backwards. Teams line up in the traditional 43 vs his option

 

[LUcanesfan]

Pierre can replace Porter I think.

Pierre is what, 6-4, 305 now? I'm not sure about him unless he adds more weight.

Porter is listed as 6-1, 325. He's fits the body type of a NT. One player that might be perfect for Porter's role next year is Corey King (6-1, 295). Supposedly he is 'country strong'. However, will he be able to start and be productive? That remains to be seen.

 

[Dingaan1828]

Ahhh....my bad. He didn't say what I thought he said. Sneaky fargin bastage.

 

[tsimonitis]

Remember Golden's mantra "Players First, Then Plays"

 

[The Franchise]

Pierre can replace Porter I think.

OP will dominate next year. He'll leave here a 1st or 2nd rounder.

I don't see it either. I think someone like Moore, King or Stuckey is more suitable for that plug NT.

I love what this defense is doing no matter what front we are using.

I hope this isn't news to anyone.

IMO, we can find what we need at that position from JUCO's. Al is always searching the waiver wires, too.

Someone getting Chicken_and_Roffles in this ******* thread now cuz it's going be news to him.

 

[AUcane]

3-4 is necessary vs spread teams. This is a great move by the Don.

I'm shocked
